I'm currently watching Edinburgh contriving nor to score against a 14 man Scarlets. I'm not seeing the Italians as a problem right now.

Point 11 is a good one. I also think an 'A' League rather than an U20 League would be a decent idea (not that we'd take it seriously), but probably completely unfeasible.

The irony of that was not lost

.

Are there going to be any Scottish qualified players left in Edinburgh btw? Irony again not lost when you consider that Visser is actually Dutch

.

Kofi's assessment was pretty good

Bringing in LW and LS would be good, but I don't think we can simply jettison the Italians.
U20 league would be good
Straight six is what should happen. The current set up is a farcical sop to the uncompetitive.
There's some tripe in there too.

Since the intro of the Italians to P12, the Italian national side has made great strides, even if the p12 sides haven't. The same cannot be said for the Scots.

LW and LS are RFU clubs so can't play unless they move back to Scotland and Wales

Welsh Regions are WRU clubs. Didn't stop the PRL talking about it and stupid Welsh cnuts thought that they were in with a chance instead of taking one in the arrrass when they were just being used by the PRL to break everything up.

Sure Blues and Sharks are our feeder clubs.

Fixed that for you

LS and LW are both 2nd rate clubs with sod all support. The only benefit they would bring to the Pro12 would be that I would get the chance to watch Ulster twice a year and be able to stagger home to my own bed afterwards. LS use the Richmond FC clubhouse which could also be considered a benefit. But basically they'd make the Italians look good. Saying that I think there is a case for an Exiles side funded by all 3 Unions to tap into the likes of me living in London. There's sh1tloads of us. I refuse to have anything to do with the Not Nots.

Plus they are worse than Zebre and Treviso, or at the very best not appreciably better. Need I remind anyone we lost to Zebre and escaped from Treviso 20-24 having been out of sight after 25 minutes.

How very English of Snipe, BR is dead on balls accurate, the Pro12 has coincided with definite improvement in the Italian side, sadly both England and France routinely asset strip them annually. What is needed in Italy is the ability to retain their better players. Hard to see it happening.
